London on 3 top 5 lists by Foreign Direct Investment magazine
This has been a good week for London, Ontario. In a survey titled North American Cities of the Future - Foreign Direct Investment, the business magazine for the Financial Times of London (the other London) - ranked London in the top 5 on three lists. Top-10 small cities of the future. Best economic potential for a small city. Most cost-effective.
London is the only city to appear in the top 5 of those 3 lists. The survey covered all cites in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.
That comes on the heels of a very successful âIT LIVES in Londonâ IT Week, sponsored by TechAlliance. All the events this week were well attended, some of them sold out due to venue capacity restraints. Many people attending were surprised at the number and diversity of IT busiesses in London, many of which have significant global reach. (Transparency disclosure: I am on the IT advisory counsel to TechAlliance.)
So for any IT business looking for a place to locate - consider London.
